I wanted to know if there is a way to get the following info from a website if all i put was give was a url:
1. Title of page
2. A piece of the the text on the front page, or even the info that would be within one of the meta tags.
3. The logo
I,m not sure where to start on trying to get this info, but maybe there is a plugin that exists that i could buy or even a web service out there that i could use.I found Amazon's AWS which does kind of what i am looking for,but i've talked to a few people who've used it and they said it sucked.
I'm building an ASP.NET MVC 2 site where I'm currently implementing an OpenID sign-up form. Unfortunately, I'm foreseeing a possible security bug/vulnerability inside my architecture.
Here's how I want OpenID login to work:
User requests /Account/Login, Controller sends back OpenIDLogin View. User enters their OpenID into the View, then OpenID authorization takes place, and finally the OpenID is returned to the Controller.The Controller checks whether the OpenID is currently in use by a user in the system or not. If it is, the user is logged in to that account. If not, the registration process begins.
And now, the OpenID registration process:
The OpenID identifier, as well as any other information provided by the OpenID provider (such as email address or name), is put into my custom ViewModel and sent to my OpenIDRegistrationForm View.The RegistrationForm View stores the OpenID in a hidden field to make sure that it gets sent back to the Controller.The user fills in the RegistrationForm View and sends it back to the Controller.The Controller creates the user account and puts the OpenID into the database.
The bug that I see within my architecture is that a user could modify the hidden value in the RegistrationForm View. Thus, they could spoof their OpenID! I will make sure to add another round of checking to the final Registration Controller Action to make sure that the OpenID that is provided doesn't exist yet, but there is still a possibility for spoofing. Can my architecture be improved somehow? I don't want this to end badly...
One solution I'm considering is encrypting the OpenID before I send it to the View and then decrypting it when it reaches the Controller. Should I try this?

in PHP, I can know these info for the visitor: IP Address. IP HostName. Natted IP Address. Natted IP HostName. User-Agent (Web Browser, OS version, framework, infopath, etc...) Web REQUEST. Web Referrer. Language. DateTime. How can I know that in asp.net? And what additional info can I know using asp.net? And how can I know if the visitor have special software installed?
Where I work, we're planning to develop a web application (for internal use) with the help of ASP.NET MVC, me being the intended developer. I have no real background in web app development, but I have dabbled a bit with RoR in my spare time and loved that way of doing things. At work .NET is de rigeur however, so I am looking at ASP.NET MVC (looks promising so far, for that matter).
Since we're new to developing web applications, we're unsure about how to best handle the administration of the application's platform (i.e., the web server and the database server etc.), and are wondering if we might be better off deploying it on Azure. While I know that there is support for ASP.NET MVC on Azure, I don't know the concrete methods of managing an application throughout its lifecycle: create it initially, deploy new versions, change database schema etc. On the other hand, I know at least superficially how to manage Rails applications on Heroku.Could someone please provide us with some much needed advise on running ASP.NET applications on Azure compared to on-premise, and thus help us decide? If we could be pointed toward some practical info, tutorials perhaps, showing how an ASP.NET MVC application (or even just a straight ASP.NET application) on Azure is managed throughout its lifecycle,

I'm working on a ASP.NET (C#) site that pulls most of its data from Dynamics CRM over SOAP using Microsoft's CrmService SDK. I'm at the point where a query has returned an entity with a property of the type Customer. I need to get the name string of that customer record, but cannot figure out how to do so. By doing a little guess work I figured out that what I have is GUID for the customer. How can I use this GUID to get the customer's name as a string? Relevant Links:
I've been reading others questions regarding storing settings in the web.config. Most of you agree that's a good way to store settings.I just have another doubt about that.
In my app, I need to map some ID's in the web.config. For example: [Table = UserType] 1 - User /2 - Admin
Is it a good idea to store these settings in the web.config so I know what is the right ID in my application? Do you have a better solution?
I want to retrieve info from more than 1 table. I have tried to look into using the ViewModel but do not fully understand how to implement it. My Model is setup using ADO.Net framework.
i want to write a WCF service to get some info from the database. The service will be called by web application. SO first of all what type of WCF project should I use.. is it WCF Service Library or WCF Service application.
Next, where should I define the connection string? The connnection string that I use inside the web.config of my web application can be used or propogarted to my WCF service? Or SHould I define the connection string again in my WCF service..?
Any examples on WCF with ado.net examples? so I will know how to define connection strings and utilize the service inside my web app?
So i have a aspx that gets IP Addresses. but if i have multiple machines coming from an IP address I need some info that will distinguish each machine differently.

We developed a software which we want to require it for all ours users to have installed on there PCs before getting internet from us.
We built our own proxy server, and we are forcing all our users to view a aspx webpage before surfing the internet.
Now, we want this aspx webpage to check the PC if it have our software installed or not, and the mechanism will deny them to surf internet before install the software on there PCs.
How can we get special info from there regystry or something like that to know this?
Example: like flash player or silverlight player, where the requested page check if the PC have the right plugin installed or not. if not, it redirect to the installation page, if yes, the flash or silverlight movie run.
